Overview
The WIFO Minituber planter (MP series) is a compact planting machine for precise placement of sorted mini tubers. Designed for professional potato production, it enables uniform planting and combines several operations in a single pass to improve field efficiency.

Key benefits

• Uniform and accurate placement of mini tubers
• High operating speed with controlled planting depth and spacing
• Reduced tuber damage through gentle handling
• Adjustable settings to match seed sizes and field conditions
• Modular configuration to suit farmers and contractors

Details
The MP range features the Koningsplanter planting unit with a finger belt that guides mini tubers gently and deposits them by reversing motion, ensuring consistent singulation. Planting depth is set by an adjustable depth wheel; disc coulters form the ridge. Conveyor-driven belt speed controls planting distance and can be adjusted on the move.

The Koningsplanter
The Koningsplanter unit delivers precise and repeatable planting for sorted mini tubers. Its design minimises impact on delicate seed tubers while maintaining accurate timing and spacing at higher working speeds.

Durable and user-friendly features
The planter includes an easy-to-fill hopper with adjustable distribution flaps and a vibrating agitator for single-line feeding. Controls for planting spacing and agitator frequency are accessible during operation. The machine is built for straightforward maintenance and field adjustment.
